I often find myself closing the tab in disgust rather than delving further to get a sense of whether the "top" comments are really representative.<br /><br />I wonder also, if the nature of the comments changes over time. As in, perhaps earlier comments are more affirming of the content presented while later comments skew toward disaffirming ("I do all these things and feel fine")? My thought is that latecomers to the video are less likely to leave a comment since there will already be many posted and this could result in a "yelp-review" effect where people only leave a comment if they want to make a complaint.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3886645843874813719.post-80969881363066034762018-07-10T01:41:16.529-07:002018-07-10T01:41:16.529-07:00Cool.Cool.Petenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3886645843874813719.post-33236285676141484372017-10-31T02:27:44.312-07:002017-10-31T02:27:44.312-07:00Reading your conclusions, I think you might be int...Reading your conclusions, I think you might be interested in the following book. I suspect that the contented commenters, the critical commenters, and especially the NEETs you describe could be (mild) Aspies, i.e. they may have an autism spectrum condition/disorder and are self-medicating with solitude.<br /><br />From *The Complete Guide to Asperger’s Syndrome* by Tony Attwood: <br /><br />“The reader will be interested to know that I have discovered a means of removing almost all of the characteristics that define Asperger’s syndrome in any child or adult. This simple procedure does not require expensive and prolonged therapy, surgery or medication, and has already been secretly discovered by those who have Asperger’s syndrome. The procedure is actually rather simple. If you are a parent, take your child with Asperger’s syndrome to his or her bedroom. Leave the child alone in the bedroom and close the door behind you as you walk out of the room. The signs of Asperger’s syndrome in your son or daughter have now disappeared.<br /><br />In solitude, the child does not have a qualitative impairment in social interaction. At least two people are needed for there to be a social interaction, and if the child is alone, there will be no evidence of any social impairment. In solitude, there is no one to talk to, so there are no speech and language peculiarities; and the child can enjoy time engaged in a special interest for as long as he or she desires, without anyone else judging whether the activity is abnormal either in intensity or focus.<br />In Chapter 6 I will explain how solitude is also one of the most effective emotional restoratives for someone with Asperger’s syndrome. Being alone can be a very effective way of calming down and is also enjoyable, especially if engaged in a special interest, one of the greatest pleasures in life for someone with Asperger’s syndrome.<br />Solitude can facilitate learning. The acquisition of knowledge in a classroom requires considerable social and linguistic skills. The difficulties experienced in these areas by children with Asperger’s syndrome can impede the understanding of academic concepts. I have observed that some children with Asperger’s syndrome acquire academic skills such as basic literacy and numeracy before they attend school, often by looking at books, watching television or playing educational games on a computer. They have successfully taught themselves, in solitude.<br />When alone, especially in a bedroom, the hypersensitivity for some sensory experiences is reduced as the environment can be relatively quiet, particularly in comparison to a school playground or classroom.(…)<br />When someone is alone, relaxed and enjoying a special interest, the characteristics of Asperger’s syndrome do not cause clinically significant impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning. For the child with Asperger’s syndrome, being alone has many advantages; problems only occur when someone enters the room, or when he or she has to leave the bedroom and interact with other people."<br /><br />Anyone still reading along will be interested in the following talks on YouTube: https://youtu.be/LuZFThlOiJI<br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0o1PXeFEcL0&feature=youtu.be&t=197Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3886645843874813719.post-18528612518980617942017-10-30T07:54:13.041-07:002017-10-30T07:54:13.041-07:00I disagree with everything you said, and here are ...I disagree with everything you said, and here are my reasons why....<br /><br />but seriously, loved the book, loved Grey's video, and I recognized too many patterns in my own life and started making changes.

It can be a torturous process for people who have experienced major trauma and who either have had their disillusionment experiences early and deeply, or consistently over time. The habituated shadow grandiosity becomes the only source of power - a destructive path that becomes addictive.

I remember being certain that the author of it had experienced something similar to the protagonist of the story, since it contained so much psychological realism (and I was right about that). I also remember thinking that a psychologist ought to read it. However I believe that not everyone should read it, as it is hellishly depressing (the manga is far more depressing than the anime) and it worsened my mental health and general teenage angst back then. On the other hand I believe that It's Not My Fault I'm Not Popular is also worth a read for a psychologist. It speaks a great deal about social anxiety.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04667315601950176427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3886645843874813719.post-48435296176356032492015-12-15T16:53:05.567-08:002015-12-15T16:53:05.567-08:00A very good post.

It is a tenant of medicine to diagnose and then treat, however, mental health issues are much harder to cleanly ascribe meaningful metrics to as one can when there is the ability to measure function such as kidney perfusion and cardiac function. What one individual feels and describes as mild or moderate depression may really simply be a bad day and not fit the true emotional and physical angst of depression. The subjective nature of trying to quantify mental health illnesses poses problems. Labels can lead one to place to much emphasis on being depressed or having depression rather than going through a bout of depression. We still need to find better methods to not only intervene before mental health issues become severe but to treat mental health issues when they are severe. It can be a long and hard road to recovery/remission/improved function.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3886645843874813719.post-48873544561745967502015-09-30T21:25:58.782-07:002015-09-30T21:25:58.782-07:00I also number clients, based on the date they beca...I also number clients, based on the date they became a client. However, I don't see the point of including "20" since neither they nor I will be around by 2100!

Since this is at least 01, there's no need to number from 101, I just add two more digits, starting at 00 (rather than 01, to give me 100 available client numbers per month, not 99 - it's no biggie either way!).<br /><br />For example, my first client in February 2014 was 140200, the next 140201, but the first in March was 140300.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07341760003668351806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3886645843874813719.post-26946170389788332872015-08-26T07:37:38.565-07:002015-08-26T07:37:38.565-07:00Thank you.Thank you.Mani Tannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3886645843874813719.post-58630586657536549932015-08-20T21:06:38.833-07:002015-08-20T21:06:38.833-07:00This is really a wonderful post.This is really a wonderful post.It's greathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04767165486105619254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3886645843874813719.post-89399318426919248162015-08-15T22:50:49.695-07:002015-08-15T22:50:49.695-07:00I'd pitch in that perhaps excessive exposure t...I'd pitch in that perhaps excessive exposure to blue light in our smartphone screens are disrupting our hormone levels and sleep patterns.

He calls it "scientific anarchy."<br /><br />He's right - there are a lot of very angry people out there, disappointed by the failures and missteps of the mental health professions, and who frame themselves very much as being anti-psychiatry. And this area has attracted its share of conspiracy theorists and others whose arguments are extreme and not supportable.<br /><br />But Lieberman ignores the fact that the more sober critics focus on the quality of the science being undertaken in service of the people needing care. Far from being scientific anarchists, these critics are definitively pro-science and conscious of the actual results being obtained in well-run studies.<br /><br />Psychology Salon is now co-published on another website, madinamerica.com, which originated with the work of Robert Whitaker and his books "Mad in America" and "Anatomy of an Epidemic." The site attracts its share of anti-psychiatry rage, so I am sometimes ambivalent about appearing there. But the core authors share an interest in the principles of science and how they are often violated out of convenience or financial considerations, with potentially damaging effects for the public. I've proclaimed myself on the site to be "pro-psychiatry", which has attracted some flak, but see this as an accurate statement. I want psychology, psychotherapy, psychiatry, and psychopharmacology to be as effective as they can be - and this can only happen if we find the leaks in our scientific boats and plug them.Randy Paterson, PhDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00582873372042325191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3886645843874813719.post-37120557853311239492015-03-24T21:06:19.512-07:002015-03-24T21:06:19.512-07:00Hmm.
